Canada doesn't need big new round of spending cuts: minister

OTTAWA Jan 26 (Reuters) - The Canadian government will be
able to balance its budget without a major new program to limit
spending, Treasury Board President Tony Clement told reporters
on Monday.

"There is no plan for a new deficit reduction action plan
similar to the one I engaged in 2011-2012," said Clement, the
cabinet minister responsible for federal government spending.
"We're going to be delivering a budget, and it'll balance the
books."

He said his department would continue to examine programs to
see if there is a way of delivering services at lower cost.
